just a quick note to the previous post
1) you can have many domains in the same host account - they just have to be in different directories and the dsn has to be pointed to that directory.
2) you only need (1) ftp account this way - you can access all your copies of wordpress because they are in different folders on the same host.
3) technically, you can have multiple wordpress sites using the same database - they all have to have different prefixes (set in wp-config.php) - however...if something goes wrong with one, say it is hacked, then the others are affected also, so I recommend one (1) db per site.
